File/Folder Comments
You can leave comments on individual files and folders. Discussing a file over a messenger can easily bury that discussion, but using comments preserves the context and makes it easy to find later. You can also continue a conversation through replies.
Before You Start
- Required permission: File write permission
- Administrator setting: Enable file comments must be turned on in Community Space Settings.
File Comments
After selecting a file, click the ⓘ button at the top of the main screen to open the comment panel on the right. Type your comment in the input box and send it.

- Reply: Click the
⋮button to the right of a comment to reply to it.
Folder Comments
After selecting a folder, click the ⓘ button the same way to open the comment panel.
Use this to leave notices, work guidelines, deadline reminders, and similar information for the entire folder. A team member who just joined can see it immediately when opening the folder.

⋮button to the right of a comment, then click 'Delete' to remove it. - You can only delete comments you wrote yourself.
